Flavio,
Really nice arm dagger. Much better blade than usual. My guess its from Sennar or environs. Probably mid-20th Century. Congratulations, Ed |

Flavio, nice dagger. I really like the subtle shape of the hilt terminals, and it is impressive that 3 out of 4 have survived intact.
Regards, Teodor |

Thank you all
Edster, I think that is a little more older than mid 20th century, at least early 20th century, the patination and the nice construction let me think so, but if you have more clues I'd like to know which are so the next time I will see carefully to catch an older example Thank you |

Flavio my friend that is one sweet arm dagger . Very fine quality and as far as age goes I would say 1890s-1920
